وَمَن عَرَفَ مَا قَرَّرْنَاهُ فِي الأَعْدَادِ وَأَنَّ نَفْيَهَا عَيْنُ ثَبْتِهَا عَلِمَ أَنَّ الحَقَّ المُنَزَّهَ هُوَ الخَلْقُ المُشَبَّهُ وَإِن كَانَ قَدْ تَمَيَّزَ الخَلْقُ مِنَ الخَالِقِ فَالأَمْرُ الخَالِقُ المَخْلُوقُ وَالأَمْرُ المَخْلُوقُ الخَالِقُ كُلُّ ذَلكَ مِنْ عَيْنٍ وَاحِدَةٍ لَا بَلْ هُوَ العَيْنُ الوَاحِدَةُ وَهُوَ العُيُونُ الكَثِيرَةُ فَانظُرْ مَا ذَا تَرَى قَالَ يَـٰٓأَبَتِ ٱفْعَلْ مَا تُؤْمَرُ وَالْوَلَدُ عَيْنُ أَبِيهِ فَمَا رَأَى يَذْبَحُ سِوَى نَفْسِهِ وَفَدَاهُ بِذَبْحٍ عَظِيمٍ فَظَهَرَ بِصُورَةِ كَبْشٍ مِنْ ظَهَرَ بِصُورَةِ إِنسَانٍ وَظَهَرَ بِصُورَةِ وَلَدٍ لَا بَلْ بِحُكْمِ وَلَدٍ مَنْ هُوَ عَيْنُ الوَالِدِ وَخَلَقَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا فَمَا نَكَحَ سِوَى نَفْسِهِ
Whoever knows what we have established concerning numbers, and that their negation is the very same as their affirmation, knows that the Real declared incomparable is the creation declared similar, even though the creation has become distinguished from the Creator. So the affair is the Creator [and] the created, and the affair is the created [and] the Creator. All of that is from a single entity. No, rather He is the single entity and He is the many entities. "So look, what do you see?" [Q 37:102]. "He said: O my father, do what you are commanded" [Q 37:102], and the son is the very self of his father. So he did not see himself slaughtering anything other than himself. "And He ransomed him with a tremendous sacrifice" [Q 37:107]: so He who had become manifest in the form of a human became manifest in the form of a ram. And He who is the very self of the father became manifest in the form of a son. No, rather [He became manifest] under the ruling property of a son. "And He created from it its mate" [Q 4:1]: so he married none other than himself.

The ibnalarabi.com texts sometimes print other hands inside a commentary: Bālī Zāde's glosses inside al-Qāshānī («إضافة بالي زادة»), and notes by the modern editor (al-muḥaqqiq) or compiler (al-jāmiʿ). We cut these out of the commentator's own text and show them as separate entries, each labelled with its author and the line of the file it came from.
Arabic of the commentaries from the OpenITI digital texts (each comment links to its line); Bosnevî's Ottoman Turkish from our collation of two OCRs of the 1873 Istanbul print (each comment links to its page scan at HathiTrust); passages matched to the commentators' quotations automatically.English translations of the commentaries and of the passage are AI (Claude) and marked. Differences are computed by comparing the words each commentator quotes with our working text; they may reflect a different manuscript reading, a paraphrase, or an alignment error. About this text.
